Superliminal vs Wuppo
Superliminal
Superliminal is designed to challenge even the most avid of puzzle solvers, providing them with mind-boggling puzzles, the unique ability to change the size of objects based on depth in perception, and a story filled with heart.The game starts off with you dozing off at the couch in front of a TV showing a weird commercial about some dream therapy program that promptly landed you in a weird dream-like state in which you find yourself the subject of an odd scientific experiment. Thankfully, unlike the more surgical kind of experimentation which would definitely turn the game into a horror show, the scientist behind this experiment is more concerned about testing your mind and its ability to perceive, pushing it to its very limits.
Superliminal offers a nice variety of perspective-based puzzles for you to solve as you move from room to room in what seems to be a vast yet empty scientific complex. The puzzles here start off easy enough since the game does have to do its job of introducing the mechanics to you. The mechanics here mostly involve finding objects that you can manipulate (a.k.a. resize and reposition) and then use in the puzzle’s solution in order to move on to the next “level” or room.
Once you got a hold of the basics, the difficulty of the puzzles starts to ramp up and at times, you might find yourself completely at loss as to what you should do, as I did… and I’m ashamed to say pretty early on in the game. When the game says that “what you see isn’t always what you get”, it’s not kidding.
Superliminal is one of those rare, trippy puzzle games that either you get it or you don’t. Puzzle enthusiasts might find the game more than intriguing to take a crack at due to its unique perspective-based puzzles. The game may be short but the experience it leaves you is unforgettable!
Wuppo
Wuppo is an incredibly-cute and charming, 2D platformer with fun puzzles, unique art, tons of collectibles, and interesting boss fights. In this game, you'll need to help Wuppo the Wum return to the Wumhouse in which it was evicted from, but of course, the task isn't as easy as it sounds! Even if you’re not a particularly huge fan of such games, Wuppo will still be able to make you fall in love with its adorable charm. It’s really that good!From the few hours I’ve spent playing Wuppo, I can attest that it absolutely deserves its Overwhelming Positive rating on Steam. The game isn’t just an adorable game; it also comes with some pretty tricky jumping puzzles/ obstacle courses; interesting boss fights and a ton of story that will make you not only fall heads-over-heels with Wuppo itself but also with the world Wuppo lives in. Definitely a game worth its asking price!
